They are firing at Gilo By: Ghassan
Andoni
21-2-2001 To start with, I do not know the proper way of addressing you, my neighbor, my enemy, my nightmare, my current enemy and future partner; all are titles that matches reality in one way or another. The second problem is where to start; with where are we now? a summary of our relation, where are we heading? or what? Excuse me if you find me leaping between ideas because I am more confused than most of you. But let me first introduce myself. I am your nightmare, your etching conscious, the one most of you think of his birth as a mistake that either should never have happened or must be corrected. The one, that your life will have been much easier, more comfortable, and far more convenient if his mother had a miscarriage. The enemy, which you can enjoy torturing, that you exchanged for the enemy how tortured you. The one that in order for you to breath, he should be suffocated, in order to drink, he should be kept thirsty, in order to feel secured, he should be besieged, and in order to have enough space, he should be pushed away. I represent the "Goem", the strangers, and the non-Jew. I am different from all others because I am your enemy by your choice. My dreams are as tiny as I am, neither I want to build a super power, nor I want to become a Global cup. I simply, want to preserve my heritage and pass it to my sons, to be free, and serve no one but my little family and the larger one as well. In few words, I want to be the enemy of no one. I am the one who is, in your eyes, worth very little. A hundred thousand similar creatures, and myself should be kept indoor to allow four hundred people like you to move freely in Hebron. "1.2 million" creatures, like myself, should be kept hostages in Gaza for the benefit of three thousand people like you. I am the one who helped you discover the significant of colors. As you know, blue and yellow are not the colors of two beautiful roses; they mean stop and pass, trusted or should be searched, wanted or clean, and Arab or Jew. I am the one who helped you enjoy the benefits of control over others and their resources. I am the one, who gave you the sense of being a superpower; excuse me a tiny one. I got you to learn how to twist human and national rights for the benefit of your "national interests"; to impose realities on ground and demand that others should live with them; and even more important, to show no tolerance towards the ones who stand against them. I am the one who helped you violate charters for human rights, disregard all international resolutions, and introduce your own rules based on might and ability to dictate. In other words, I helped you stand naked in front of your selves; get rid of all of the illusions about your ethical superiority and monopoly over victimization. Nowadays you behave similar to others, yet as scaled dozens of years ago. Why do I bother you with this list of benefits I provided to you? Simply to remind you that your recent complains about what I do against you do not stand the judgment of history. "They are firing against Gilo" can any one list to me what you did when they were not firing at Gilo. A question that stands for an answer. | ||||||||||||||||
